How to Make Circle Text in Canva
I’m going to show you how to make circle text in Canva. The goal is a circular effect where the first letter meets the last letter. Here is the exact process.
Make Circle Text in Canva
Open the Text menu and insert a simple text box.
Type your text. Use a clean, readable font. Avoid handwriting fonts because they rarely curve well into a circle.
Open the FX menu.
In the Shape section, select Curve.
Increase the Curve amount until the text becomes a circle. Keep adjusting until the last letter sits close to the first letter for a closed loop.
Center the circular text on your canvas for a balanced look. If you want to attach text to a specific shape, see attach text.
Read Flow for Make Circle Text in Canva
After curving, the first word often lands at the bottom, which feels unnatural because we read left to right.
Rotate the text box until the first letter or first word sits near the top center, slightly to the left. This placement draws attention and helps people start reading the full circle.
If the start point sits at the bottom, it can be hard to figure out where the text begins.
Finishing Touches for Make Circle Text in Canva
Refine the Curve amount if the letters look too spaced or too tight. Small tweaks help the first and last letters meet cleanly.
Adjust font size to keep the circle compact and readable. If you also want a border around a standard text box elsewhere in your design, see border text.
For video projects that need cleanup, you can also remove text from a clip in Canva.
